 Fried Herrings: Clean them and scale and dry in a towel Take a a piece of letter paper, rub little hot or cold butter on it, fold herring in it, salt and pepper it and broil. Eat with a little lemon juice or make a sauce with butter and vinegar.-E1- change.
 Breakfast Biscuit: One quart of flour, one-half teaspoonful salt two teaspoonfuls baking powder, one-half ounce butter; mix together; add milk enough to make a soft dough; roll out quickly, handling as little as possi- ble, and bake in quick oven.-Tha Caterer.
 Cattle should not be permitted to feed on clover land in the early spring, as the crop will hardly be able to de- velop in full vigor if this be done. Neither should stock be permitted to graze on it late in the autumn, as this renders it very liable to winter-killing. Albany Journal.
 When purchasing pure-bred stock give the preference to those breeds best adapted to the soil, climate and facili- ties of the farm. It will not do to sud denly transfer an animal from 8 luxu- riant pasture to barren hillside. Good breeding is important, but the best of breeds will fail to give satisfac- ton unless kept under proper condi- -CLeUeLd11d Leader.
 Sponge Jelly Roll: Four eggs, one cup and half sugar, one tablespoon baking powder, beat the whites sepa- rately and the sugar and the yelks together until very light, then add part of the whites, then cup of four, then beat well, then a little more four, then the rest of the whites and stir. easy; put it in and bake.

 Although the hogs are more sen- sitive to cold than other domestic ani- mals, yet they receive less protection during winter. The most important requisite in a pig-sty is dryness. The accumulations of slush and manure usually found in some pens are fruitful causes of cholera and other diseases, and it is practice to pour corn into such pens, one-half of which is wasted. Better treatment of the hogs would in- sure greater weight on smaller pro- portion of food.-San Francisco Chron- icle.
 Notwithstanding great care, pi, amos, and especially uprights, will be- come smeared and lack lustre. Do not attempt to use any varnishes or furni- ture polishes, but take luke warm water, make soapsuds and wash thor oughly, a small space at time, either with sponge or soft rag, quickly rub ping dry with a larger rag. A piece of old tablecloth is the best for this purpose.-M r Erdminer
 Foremost among all fertilizers is common barnyard manure. That which gives it its peculiar value is that it contains all the plant elements. and is, therefore, fitted to nourish any crop hence we call it general and not a specific manure. To be sure, there are certain concentrated manures which, if the soil requires the particular plant elements of which they are composed, will yield larger returns, pound for pound, than will barnyard manure. Yet for general use upon the farm there is nothing that will take the place of this most common manure Western Rural.
 All seeds will run out unless kept up by selection. Many of the kinds of- fered as new are only fixed up by selec- tion from old varieties. The improve ment of squash and cucumber seeds by age can be explained on scientific prin- ciples. When fresh, they are feshY and contain pabulum, which gives vigor to the young plants, but with age they get rid of the surplus food. Cucumbers from old seed fruit a great deal better, and melen plants are shorter jointed, and flower at the third or fourth joint, when from fresh seed they would not live a flower until the tenth. h.-BoSton Globe.
